Re: [Efw-user] syn-flood prevention?

2015-02-10 Thread AJ Weber
I was a long-time user of EFW and liked the product, but I'm not telling 
you anything you don't already know when I say that they've completely 
ignored the distro and there's virtually no development or support any 
longer.

Someone here mentioned Ubiquiti's EdgeRouters a while back, so I bought 
an EdgeRouter Lite.  It has been very stable, fast and secure.  It 
doesn't have all of the appliance features, because it's designed as a 
router/fw first.  But you can add debian packages to tweak it -- 
provided you keep in mind that it has finite cpu and memory.

Would be nice if their OS was ready to run on any intel-based box, but 
their prices are more-than-fair for the hardware.  And their forums are 
very responsive from other users AND the developers.

In my case, I replaced a EFW PC and a load-balancer with the one 
EdgeRouter Lite for way-lower electric consumption and faster throughput.

 Hello Matt

 Thank you very much for your answer.

 This night I found, that our router was not afflicted by an syn-flood
 attack, but was hacked and was used as an syn-flood server itself. There
 was no way to save it, as the bad files where distributed over the
 system and reloaded themself permanently and so I had to set-up the
 router from fresh.

 Yes your are right about the future development of the community version
 and it is wise to move to an other firewall.

 best regards

 Endian themselves, I'm not sure why it is not working if you have syn

 Firewall Community as I'm not able to get any answers from Endian or
 their developers at all.

 There are numerous security issues with the distribution specifically
 with SSH and openssl.  I'm moving to a more up to date and maintained
 firewall for my needs.

 Good luck.

Re: [Efw-user] Missing SRPMs and new Developer Environment

2012-11-15 Thread AJ Weber
I have to agree about the lack of community-response in general.  It's a 
great firewall/appliance, but they make it way too hard to customize, 
tweak and update for an open-source product.  I built my own, mini, dev 
environment in order to patch a few things, but will certainly look into 
the one Robert produced.

I glanced at ZeroShell -- only glanced -- it seems a bit different to 
Endian.  Some packages I see as strengths, others as weaknesses.  For 
example, they leverage BIND, and you need to setup your own DNS.  That's 
not trivial -- dnsmasq is more than sufficient for most SOHO 
applications.  Plus, they built their own linux OS.  That means any 
patches/additions have to be compiled from source and hopefully you have 
all the dependencies.  I would much-prefer a CentOS-based distro that I 
could (at least somewhat) easily add my own features from standard 
RPMS.  There are some good features there as well, I agree.  And I have 
been long-waiting for Endian to allow true load-balanced WAN connections.

 I think you are probably right, Endian doesn't seem to be all that

 I don't hear anything back from them in the next couple of days I'll
 release the dev environment anyways.
 Despite being Endian very good, I decided to move away for this reason. Bugs 
 never closed, no updates for OS releases, no committment in the community...

 I'm now testing ZeroShell and pfSense. They both have the same features of 
 EFW and much more, like PPTP support, hotspot, uplink failover, web 
 antivirus... ZS even uses an internal radius server for authentication. 
 pfSense is great as well, but it's on bsd and I'd rather stay on linux ;)

Re: [Efw-user] WAN load balancing

2010-11-03 Thread AJ Weber
The community version won't do WAN load-balancing (unless it changed very 
recently).  I tried to hack at it once, and you could probably get it 
running if you have static WAN addresses, but it's probably not worth the 
trouble.

It DOES do WAN failover.

 Hi.
 I did some researches on the website but couldn't figure out if EFW 
 community is capable of doing WAN load balancing, that is if you have 2 
 DSL of 10mb each get an uplink of 20mb total.

 It's clear stated on the enterprise pages, but not on the community ones.

 I see in EFW web ui that it's possible to have multiple wan, in fallback, 
 but I cannot test if load balancing is available as well.

 Anyone did?
 thanks

Re: [Efw-user] Fw: EFW Community Update 2.4.1

2010-11-03 Thread AJ Weber
I don't think RESPIN means 2.4.1 at all.  In fact, the embedded date in 
the download filename leads me to believe this is the May 28, 2010 (2.4.0) 
release.

However, I tried the pwmconfig and it couldn't control the fans.  (After

Re: [Efw-user] Bridge Mode?

2010-09-27 Thread AJ Weber
OK, some of this discussion (all of which has been helpful and great, thank 
you) has gotten me thinking...

If I'm going to manually configure the proxy and filtering.  Should I actually 
just leverage Endian's distro as an appliance that sits ON the LAN, but not as 
a network bridge/router in the middle of it?  In other words, just connect 
Endian as another server on the LAN and set my PCs manually to leverage that 
server/address to leverage the filters and proxies?

I realize I could go completely manually configure a Linux distro to do all 
that, but if Endian already has all the packages installed and a nice GUI/web 
app to manage it, why not use it?

Is this possible?  In theory I would only need a Green interface, though I 
could still setup a Red interface as well.

Thanks again,
AJ

  Ok , now i understand what you wish to accomplish

  + === +---+   +---+  +-+ 
  WAN | | Load Balancer | = | Endian Bridge |  | LAN |
  + === +---+   +---+  +-+

  Been there ... done that

  The endian will work as a bridge in your network and you need:


a.. two interfaces, one goes connected to the lan switch, the other one 
goes to the load balancer.
b.. when configuring the endian both interfaces goes to the green zone, and 
the red zone configure it as gateway and put the lan ip address of your load 
balancer.
c.. in your firewall rules filter traffic using input interface and output 
interface. 

d.. Configure the proxy's you wish to use, as a general rule try to use 
explicit proxy in the http proxy configuration an manually configure the proxy 
in your clients. If you got Active Directory you coud enable integration and 
use group based profiles (work like a charm in win 2003, buggy in win 2008). 

e.. the default gateway of your network will be your Load balancer. your 
endian will sit silently in the middle filtering traffic because is acting like 
a bridge, every thing that receive in one interface it forward it to the other 
interface, only that before its forward the traffic it will apply firewall 
rules and proxy rules (SMTP, HTTP, POP3,etc). 
  I'll gladly help you if you got problems.

[Efw-user] Bridge Mode?

2010-09-23 Thread AJ Weber
Hi All,

I was a Endian user for a good while, then went away from it for a few years 
(no comments/flames, please).  I'm looking to put something back in, behind a 
decent router that has probably enough FW features for my use.

Thus, I'm considering putting a box in between the FW/router and the LAN for 
other UTM and caching (anti-spam, anti-virus, squid, dansguardian all features 
I'd like to make use of).  I'd prefer not to double-NAT connections where I 
don't have to, so I am considering inserting a box in bridge-mode.

Can Endian 2.4 do this?

Thanks in advance,
AJ

2010-09-23 Thread AJ Weber
Nah, it's not even the cable modem.

I have two incoming, DHCP lines (FiOS and Cable), and need a stable, 
load-balancing router.  So I use a dedicated piece of H/W for that, which also, 
of course, has a pretty decent FW.  (I have long wished for the true 
load-balancing functionality to come to Endian and even hacked at it myself a 
long while back.  But now that I have the dedicated HW, I'll just leverage it 
on the front.)  I guess I could use the zone between the dedicated router and 
the Endian box as a DMZ and setup Endian in a more traditional, firewall sense. 
 Must think it through a little more.

Thanks everyone for the input.

Re: [Efw-user] Local hostnames - DHCP

2009-03-02 Thread AJ Weber
Did you try adding your domain-name after the hostname?  If that works, then 
you might have to add (probably uncomment) a line in the dnsmasq.conf file 
to auto-append it.

I think you can do that on a windows client as well by setting the dns 
search order (Append these suffixes...) in TCP settings.

Maybe that helps.

 Hi,

 I was just wondering if it is possible to have resolving local hostnames
 for machines that get the IP addresses from DHCP?

 e.g. If I connect a laptop (laptop1) to the network, and then try to
 ping it on the network:

 ping laptop1
 I get:
 ping: unknown host laptop1

 I can see the host names in the DHCP part of the services tab.

 I upgraded to endian from IPCop, and under IPCop all local hostnames
 would resolve correctly.

 Could this be due to the way it has been configured?

 Thanks,

  Hello EFW Users everywhere,

  my name is Chris Mair -- I'm the new CTO of Endian Srl.

  While gathering feedback from this list and our bugtracker
  I've come to understand there is mounting confusion and
  doubts about our release strategy (or lack thereof ;) and
  our community strategy.

  I wish to address these.

  Let me get one thing straight from the beginning. Endian
  Srl is a commercial company. We're in the game for the money.

  Like others and unlike most, we stick 100% to Open Source.
  Open Source is not just a shell phrase for us, it means
  two things, it's a kind of license we attach
  to the software we release as well as a development model.

  So far we got the license straight (EFW is and will always be
  Open Source Software, Free Software, call it by any name
  -- as is the Enterprise addition, as is everything
  installed on the appliances we sell), but we failed to
  build up a community development process.

  One of my tasks is to do better. I wish to involve the
  community more. I wish to give updates to the EFW systems
  out there and I wish to open up that repository a lot of
  you are waiting for, so you can track the stable releases
  better.

  I am, however, missing resources to do all this *now*.
  Remember: we're an Open Source Shop with a sort of closed
  development process right now. If there was a single
  button I could push to change that, I'd do that now.
  Alas there's 1000 buttons and I'm just starting to figuring
  out in what order to push them...

  So, this is to let you know I'm working on it, the whole
  development team is working on it and yes, we do listen
  to you. I promise I'll keep you up to date on this.

  Release time.

  Today, we're releasing EFW 2.2 RC3. Please consider
  this as final as we ever get with 2.2. We call it RC3,
  because it's missing infrastructure more than it's
  missing anything else (I mentioned I wish to give
  you updates in the future).

  If you're still on EFW 2.1, now is the time to get to
  2.2.

  If you're a developer, expect more from as as soon as
  I get those 1000 buttons figured out...

  CU on the lists :)

  Bye,
  Chris.

  PS: remember: if you are an enterprise customer, we got you
  always covered: just use the support channels you got when
  you bought your appliance.

[Efw-user] Replacement for SARE rules???

2008-09-08 Thread AJ Weber
OK, I'll admit it, my sa-update with SARE (and std) spamassassin rules was 
working for so long that I have not paid any attention to the SARE site.

Apparently the ninjas are not updating the rules any longer. :((

Does anyone know of a suitable replacement for daily (or even more frequent) SA 
rules updates???

Thanks in advance,
AJ

Oh, my updates were working fine.  And you can continue to run the scripts, but 
according to the SARE homepage, they're no longer updating the rules, so it 
won't do you any good.  (And openprotect uses their rules too.)

Re: [Efw-user] EFW 2.2RC2 Contentfilter not working?

2008-09-08 Thread AJ Weber
I just tested adding a site explicitly to the blacklist.  This worked 
immediately (it blocked access to the site, displayed the expected blocked 
url message, and logged it).

It seems like the scoring is the part that isn't working properly (and I can't 
tell if the PICS is working properly, I don't know a good way to test it, but 
if it should be blocking porno sites, then it's not working either).

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

Does anyone have the content filter (dansguardian) working with 2.2???

Thanks,
AJ

on 8080 with No Authentication.  Updated my browser to use the proxy on 8080.

I can search and display pages with some seriously naughty stuff.  I also 
noticed that the rule enabled graph that shows-up in previous versions below 
the rule-list, doesn't show at all.  It's blank space and the legend is at the 
bottom.

When I try surfing thru the proxy, I DO see squid and dansguardian procs 
pop to the top (using top), but they don't seem to be filtering anything.

Am I missing something here?

Re: [Efw-user] Endian 2.2 RC2 Release Date

2008-06-26 Thread AJ Weber
Agree with Steven,

I've repeatedly asked (and searched for) the latest developer's release/build 
so that I could add some features and tweaks to the distro.  And I would 
happily release those back to Endian and the community if I was successful in 
my endeavors.

Alas, there's absolutely no response when you ask for the source of the 
open-source.

I still use it and I too love it, but it's really troubling the way they seem 
to be functioning these days... :(

  Intentionally or unintentionally Endian have created a environment that does

  Endian keeps things very close to their chest so to speak.  Buying the 
commercial package is simply not in the budget at this stage and does not 
conform to our philosophy.   I would be more than happy to buy Endian for 
commercial support when required.  I would love to offer testing on updated 
releases and provide feedback, if there was something being released.  By 
simply requesting for information that clearly other people are looking for as 
well, is this not participating?

   

  In Short Endian does not really allow us community members to contribute 
easily.

   

  I would like to get some feedback from Endian on my thoughts.

Re: [Efw-user] Understanding Endian Load Balancing Feature

2008-04-22 Thread AJ Weber
It's listed as an explicit feature of the appliances and the production 
software, but not in the community edition.  I would love to hear differently, 
but last time I asked, I got a reply from one of the developers and they said 
it was NOT there.

Snippet of email RE 2.2 Beta 1 below:

 Will this release support multiple WAN/RED interfaces -- with each using
 DHCP -- for load balancing and/or failover???

Yes, multiple uplinks are possible, in failover mode and/or up at the
same time. Load balancing is not possible due to a problem with the
current kernel.

Re: [Efw-user] Understanding Endian Load Balancing Feature

2008-04-22 Thread AJ Weber
I honestly don't know if/when they will fix it.  Really it's a Feature 
Request, not a bug.

The developers must be very busy, as Peter (amongst others, I think) is 
typically pretty responsive and participates in the mailing-list.  He would 
probably be able to give you the best response as to where it is, and when we 
should fully expect it.

Best of luck.

  As far as is known their is no SRPMS yet. The EFW team uses a chroot

  release the devel setup as their is no Stand alone dev system. 
  [AFAIK]. You can try to use the 2.1 system and boot strap your way to 
  2.2beta but you are probably better off waiting for the full release. 
  Again AFAIK the base system is RHEL/Centos 4.x based with some newer 
  packages here and there as needed.

working and stable.  I would volunteer to work with someone (or some people) to 
get this done.  I don't know if there's a current (say current-beta) build with 
gcc, kernel sources, etc., available, or how to get one running.  But if we had 
that, it wouldn't take all that long to build a POC/beta version with the 
patches and scripts integrated, AFAIK.

Now, after a review of their scripts, and the required patches, _I_ don't see 
any issue getting it merged.  Does anyone out there have knowledge to the 
contrary, before I waste time, and run into a brick wall that others already 
know about???

If not, if anyone can give me some direction as to getting a endian build 
machine running, I could start the process.

[Efw-user] Digital Signatures in Emails

2008-02-14 Thread AJ Weber
Just trying to rule things out here...

If I digitally sign an email, then it gets forwarded through Endian FW 
(Community Ed. 2.2b1), should the digitally signed email be altered and show an 
error-message at the recipient's end?

I don't think it should, especially because I'm running the POP3 Proxy, but NOT 
the SMTP one.

Why and where is my email getting tampered with???

You can't load balance with Endian (Community Version) yet anyway.  But the 
EV-DO USB would be a neat backup (if you want to pay the $50/month for service 
versus a LOT cheaper for faster DSL or Cable or FiOS as a backup), I guess. :)

  Simply open the port within system access only for your ip addresses,

[Efw-user] local NTP Service not working?

2007-12-13 Thread AJ Weber
Can someone give me some ideas on how to troubleshoot the NTP service on EFW 
2.2b1?

None of my LAN clients can query the service, even though it's certainly 
running on the firewall.

I even tried editing the ntp.conf and adding an explicit restrict for my GREEN 
subnet (allowing query), and restarted it, but that had no effect either.

I'm not entirely sure how it would work without adding that config entry 
either...the ntpd rules seem to state that if you don't have an explicit entry 
for your subnet (or server), and you have a restrict default in your 
ntp.conf, it will follow the default (which denies about everything).

Any ideas?  Maybe I need more coffee...

Re: [Efw-user] local NTP Service not working?

Sorry, by EFW 2.2b1, I meant version 2.2 beta 1.

From the firewall console, I do get that kind of response:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/rc.d/init.d # ntpdate -u -q localhost

HOWEVER, from any other linux host on the GREEN network, I get a response such 
as this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] init.d]# ntpdate -u -q firewall
server 192.168.1.127, stratum 0, offset 0.00, delay 0.0

  the restrict keyword does what it says.. it restrict's something.
  so if you have no restrict line, the access is unrestricted.
  the default keyword means 0.0.0/0, which is the entire ip space.

  Probably your ntp is currently to imprecise (if you have a high stratum
  value)
  and your clients refuse to update or it's a network problem or ntp does
  not run.

Re: [Efw-user] Disable ping on RED

2007-12-13 Thread AJ Weber
On either the System access or the Zone firewall (this is 2.2beta 
menus...you'll have to translate back to 2.1.2), you could add a Source 
Interface == RED, service = ICMP, policy = drop.

I'm sure Peter can clarify which...but it probably would be a good option in 
the Network Configuration wizard somewhere when configuring the RED 
interface(s).

  Wait.. it's a fixed bug, so i did not recognize it.
  efw 2.2 has now a local firewall for connections going
  to the box. - System access
  Each service opens it's ports itself as soon as it needs them.

  Each service defines those firewall configuration within it's own
  firewall configuration template file, which are here:
  /etc/firewall/inputfw/*.conf.tmpl

  The template for ntp is wrong. The port is 123, not 119.

  Simply change that value within the template and call
  restartntp

  That should do the job

Re: [Efw-user] pop3 proxy virus scanner

2007-12-02 Thread AJ Weber
It will scan pop3 and pop3s, but the trick is that you need to configure your 
email clients (on GREEN) to send pop3 on the pop3s port (995) -- that is, send 
it unencrypted.  When the proxy sees the traffic on 995, it will then encrypt 
the traffic from the gateway to the intended server.

So the traffic is unencrypted only on GREEN, which should be OK for most...but 
if you need the traffic encrypted from end-to-end (desktop client to POP3s 
server), then it won't work right.

[Efw-user] 2.2b1 traffic graphs

2007-11-13 Thread AJ Weber
I'm testing 2.2b1 with two RED NICs, and the RED (uplink) has two different 
graphs -- named correctly to my two uplinks -- but they both show the exact 
same traffic patterns over time.  Either endian-fw is load-balancing perfectly, 
or the statistical gathering or analysis or graphing is incorrect.  I'm 
assuming that the main uplink should show all the traffic, and the other 
should show virtually none.  (I have no special routing setup to leverage the 
idle/backup NIC for any traffic.)

Is this my mistake, or a known-or-new issue?

Q: When using the SIP proxy...

Do I need to manually then go configure the firewall to allow these ports to be 
ACCEPTed??

That is, do I configure the traffic from RED, SIP port to be REDIRECTed to the 
firewall host (siproxd), and then ACCEPT the SIP and RTP ports from RED?

Not clear on this, and if that's the case, why it wouldn't be configured

an Intel GB NIC.  I don't think that matters, and can provide further h/w 
details, but here's what happens.

 

Everything proceeds smoothly until immediately after Creating Journal on 
log filesystem..., which is fine -- see first pic attached, and if they don't 
stay attached, just tell me where to upload them.

 

Immediately after that, I get a bunch of FATAL errors thrown from 
modprobe (see second pic), I think it thinks it's missing some files?

 

It then allows me to set the IP Address of the Green NIC (but it doesn't 
allow me to select WHICH NIC I want to be GREEN), and reports a successful 
install and ready to reboot!  (Have pics of that too, but won't attach them 
unless you want them.)

 

The system reboots and appears to be running -- no errors or warnings 
during reboot/startup, but I'm very leery of the state that it's in.

 

Can anyone advise me how to troubleshoot?

 

Thanks in advance!

Re: [Efw-user] Install Problem with beta1 (POST WITHOUT PHOTOS)

2007-11-08 Thread AJ Weber
Thanks for the quick reply!

I will check on this.  Unfortunately, I would want the GigE NIC to be my GREEN 
interface.  Can this be changed (the settings of which NICs are assigned to 
which zone) later?

Still curious about the modprobe error and whether that's going to cause 
problems later, in case anyone has any ideas on that!

Thanks again,
AJ

  I don't have the beta but 2.1.2 automagically chose the built-in ethernet as 
Green which allowed me to reach it by ethernet at the private IP assigned on 
the setup. You can then assign all NICs from the GUI in EFW. Once on, turn on 
SSH so you'll have a backdoor in.


  Can't help on the modprobe error.

  I'm trying to install beta1 to a PC with a built-in NIC, a 3com 10/100, 
and an Intel GB NIC.  I don't think that matters, and can provide further h/w 
details, but here's what happens.

  Everything proceeds smoothly until immediately after Creating Journal on 
log filesystem..., which is fine -- see first pic attached, and if they don't 
stay attached, just tell me where to upload them.

  Immediately after that, I get a bunch of FATAL errors thrown from 
modprobe (see second pic), I think it thinks it's missing some files?

  It then allows me to set the IP Address of the Green NIC (but it doesn't 
allow me to select WHICH NIC I want to be GREEN), and reports a successful 
install and ready to reboot!  (Have pics of that too, but won't attach them 
unless you want them.)

  The system reboots and appears to be running -- no errors or warnings 
during reboot/startup, but I'm very leery of the state that it's in.

  Can anyone advise me how to troubleshoot?

  Thanks in advance!

Re: [Efw-user] Endian Firewall 2.2 Beta 1 released

2007-10-29 Thread AJ Weber
So basically, manual load balancing now, and rules-based/automatic (sessions, 
IPs, traffic, round-robin, etc.) later?  And really, I'm talking about outbound 
load-balancing, though inbound would be a great feature too.

Do I then assume that failover from RED interface to RED interface _is_ 
currently possible, even with DHCP on the RED NICs?

Thanks again,
AJ

  Exactly. You can use your main uplink for your normal traffic from green
  and another dedicated uplink for your DMZ, or for a specific or some
  server/services within your DMZ.

  Ladies and Gentleman,

  the Endian Team is glad to announce a new release of the Endian Firewall
  Community verison 2.1.2. The Endian Firewall Community is a turn-key
  Linux security distribution that turns every system into a full featured
  security appliance. Designed with “usability in mind”, Endian produced a
  software that is extremely flexible and very easy to install, use and
  manage. The Community version has been warmly embraced by the open
  source community and has so far enjoyed over 150.000 downloads.


  This new release contains several minor though significant new features
  and major bugfixes. The 2.1.2 has build up from the 2.1.1 version,
  fixing the SATA support system and allowing for a wizard after
  installation that ask to set up the passwords (root and administrator).
  In addition, this new release enables the possibility of restoring a
  backup directly after installation, and of blocking incoming connections
  coming through the VPN [#210].


  Moreover, the Endian Firewall Community now includes a 1:1 NAT (for ALL
  port-forwarding protocol types) and provides added support for EFW as a
  XEN domU instance. Kernel, glibc, clamav and havp have all been
  upgraded, and the proxy authentication can now be bypassed for specific
  ip/mac addresses.


  The new iso can be downloaded from
  http://www.endian.com/en/community/download/iso/


  The Endian Team

Will 2.1 support multiple RED interfaces (with DHCP) ???  Please, oh please, oh

You mentioned you were moving in a different direction to address this, so I 
assume it's an active part of the project, but have not heard anything about 
proposed version-number when that will be released...

  Well as promised I have an working Endian 2.1 development install. So I 
  have opened a new downloads directory specifically for 2.1. Better late 
  then never. When 2.1.1 comes out I'll probably rename this directory and 
  start from scratch.

  http://www.stellarcore.net/downloads/efw2.1-updates/

  Also I have a development directory in which I keep all the *-devel 
  packages that I have to build when I want to build one of the updated rpms.

  http://www.stellarcore.net/downloads/efw2.1-development/


  I built and upload the important ones for everyone Clamav, Havp, and 
  efw-clamav [this is what has the new style config templates for clamav.] 
  . So start using this directory instead of the 2.0 releases.

  -Mike

  [As side note building a 2.1 development install is much harder then 2.0 
besides having to rebuild any -devel package from source rpm at least 
  2 rpm specs are broken. Ncurses - /var/lib/terminfo not defined, and GMP 
  -   horrible problems with libgmpxx.* ]

I made an invalid assumption that you were one of the core maintainers of the 
Community Ed.  Sorry.  My bad.  It was Peter W. (who DOES have an endian 
address) that made the comment, now that I look further back.

Can anyone from Endian please comment/reply?

  Don't confuse me with the Company Endian that produces this. :) I'm just

Re: [Efw-user] HOW TO - LOAD BALANCE WITH 2 OR MORE RED NICs

Peter,

Does this mean we should hold hope for the 2.6-kernel based release that you 
mentioned?  Is that scheduled for 2.2 or later?

This Feature Request is getting more and more prevalent, AFAIK.

   Endian Firewall shows the two red link´s and makes the load-balancing in

   A feather that this easiness is not available in the community version. 
   I hope in the next version this is included. 

  That's because something which seems easy sometimes in reality isn't. We
  already discussed multiple uplinks with loadbalancing on this (old)
  forum:
  http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1510439forum_id=473861

  In fact loadbalancing is already implemented, but we have problems with
  it, which can't be solved with the current kernel.
  We are now going a different way and solve the problem in a problemless
  and more flexible way.
